I've gone and done it again

[jeremy]

Ok, last Sunday i was supposed to buy an Albino Mask Lovebird and ended up coing home with an additional 2 Peachface Lovebirds.
I decided to refuse getting help from Polly because i thought i had the situation under control but i guess i was wrong.
Yesterday (Sunday) i was going to buy another Albino Mask Lovebird and ended up coming home with a pair of Indian Ringnecks as well.

The new Albino Cock with a Parino Split Lutino Hen i bred last year


Pastel Skyblue Cock


Silver Hen


The Cock has very strong pastel markings

Hey Jeremy,
I though I had a good thing to stop myself from buy more birds them I went out to get.But hubby ends up bring home more birds anyways.

[beachbird]

I reckon that by now, a few of us (who shall remain nameless ) deserve to get 'mate's rates' at the local hardware store on aviary material and the like.

(Not that I'd come into that catagory of course!!) ;D

[pollyparrot]

ollie did u say u were going away leaving your house and birds unattended some strange red headded bird freak might sneak in and take em all not that i know anyone like that you are just lucky someone so honest and in control as me could look in on them now and then anyway iam off got to go make some room for some more birds

[ollie]

Polly, Yes I am going away not for a while yet and I have my lovely sister staying here to look after the birds. She has been told to keep her eye out for any redheads that happen to come around !!!!Ha Ha ;D ;D ;D

[pollyparrot]

Jo-Anne.......

[pollyparrot]

OMG !!! JO-ANNE WE ARE MUTATIONS??? NEVER THOUGHT OF IT THAT WAY

Interesting to look at your photo of the pastel skyblue cock, I've just bought a skyblue hen, she is about 5mths old, The breeder told me she was possibly a pastel but I wouldn't know till after the moult, she looks just like a normal sky blue to me, but today I was looking at her and she has got 4 or 5 greenish feathers on her shoulders between the wings, does anyone know much about pastel skyblue? I'm getting slightly hopefull here, but I've never had a skyblue before so do some of them get greenish feathers?

[jeremy]

Kim you have got yourself a Pastel Skyblue alright. The Pastel gene brings in green/yellow feathers

[vankarhi]

LOL it should have read "oops I did it again" LOL. You did well. Originally only going to buy one bird?? How many did you buy?? Good job.

Hey I am showing my ignorance or lack of knowledge but what is the difference between a "mutation" and a "hybrid". I am guessing a hybrid might be bred with a ringneck to get the colouring? And a mutation is something that happens naturally and is bred back again to it's own breed (maybe another mutation) to keep the colour...............or am I totally off the beaten track. By the way, it was a good site to look at also.
